A Little Landscaping Idea with Glass Floats!

I found a little wooden boat & decided to turn it into a yard decoration! It had blue paint all over it that was chipping, so I got as much off of it as I could. I left hints of it because I thought it added character. I lined it with a pond liner, put in some drainage holes, filled it with soil, planted petunias & some other good stuff, put wood chips on the top & finished it off with some floats. I also put the cracked or damaged floats I find in my flower beds.

Oh, no I don't mind the photo. I just look so much younger! That was about 5 years ago, I think. I'm hittin 38 soon. It's true what they say about time flying by as you get older!

I actually put an ad in the newspaper for a wooden boat & someone called me. They just gave it to me. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm getting ready to plant flowers in it again. That photo was from last summer.

Thanks so much for the feature. I had some orders waiting for me this morning! :)

About Me...

After transplanting myself from Oklahoma to Alaska & living there for 12 years, I made another huge move to the Oregon Coast. I lived there for 2 1/2 years & I'm now in Washington. I originally moved to Alaska to follow my dream of flying & somewhere along my journey, I ran across glass fishing floats. Over the past 9 years, these little treasures have taken over my heart, along with my house! I have a substantial collection of rare & unique floats from all over the world. I like to share their uniqueness, history & beauty with anyone that is interested!
